CHASING THE SUN

NULLARBOR Links, the world’s longest golf course, is totally unique and just like The Nullarbor will never be duplicated.

This 18-hole par 72 golf course spans 1,365 kilometres with one hole in each participating town or roadhouse along the Eyre Highway, from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia east to Ceduna in South Australia.

Each hole includes a synthetic green, tee and somewhat rugged outback-style natural terrain fairway. The course marries tourism with golf beautifully and is the quintessential outback Australian golfing experience.

Each year the course hosts a tournament with a difference. The Chasing the Sun golf festival begins with a sip of champagne to toast the sunrise on Saturday morning in Ceduna and ends, with another champagne toast and prize presentation, as the sun sets in Kalgoorlie.

The tournament takes you on a drive to Australia’s famous oyster beds in Ceduna. Then to the wheat and sheep farming districts, of Penong, Nundroo and the beautiful waters of Fowlers Bay. You venture passed the whales and the beautiful coast line at Nullarbor to arrive at the beaches of Eucla. There you meet the Pirate and claim your treasure.

Clutching your gold you move on to the remains of Skylab at Balladonia and the working sheep station at Fraser Range. The Indigenous art and dance of the Ngadju people in Norseman will feature strongly in your memories of this tournament.

The next morning you journey on to nickel mining and land yacht sailing at Kambalda, then finally to Australia’s gold capital Kalgoorlie.

The festival starts in Ceduna on April 7, 2018, and will finish in Kalgoorlie on Sunday April 15. There are a range of costs depending on how many days you add on to the start of the festival but motel costs are around $130 per night twin share, while the cost of entering the tournament is $465 per person.
